Thanks in advance!

I can't think of a better launchpad for a career in home inspection. But since your experience is limited to commercial, I offer a few words of what you might encounter as an HI. This is a profession where you will encounter agents often. Agents have a professional duty to serve their buyers, but, by law, they receive compensation only via a commission, and only if the house is sold. That means they're conflicted with knowing who the best inspectors for buyers are, on account of their personal interest in their commission. The better an inspector serves a buyer, the more of a threat he is to the agent's commission. Buyer's are commonly not familiar with this conflict of interest. Add to that the lack of a reliable metric on home inspector performance and 90% of buyers end up using the agent's recommendation on inspector. Most of the population of home inspectors consist of these inspectors, inspectors who appeal the the agent's interest rather than the buyers'. That mean that as an entry level inspector, to be successful you must make yourself more appealing to agents than your competition. You must do what your competition does, only better, even though the buyer gets screwed while paying for everything, the house, the agent and the inspector. This mechanism isn't dominant everywhere in the country. Some places it's worse, other places it may not be significant.
